Next up, TNA Wrestling World Champion Moose spoke candidly about the company's partnerships with WWE and AEW. In 2021, TNA, which was operating under the IMPACT brand at the time, had a working relationship with AEW, resulting in appearances by Kenny Omega and Christian Cage on IMPACT programming. However, critics argued that AEW did not do enough to promote TNA on their own shows. In an exclusive interview with The Agency, Moose shared that the company's new partnership with WWE has been much more beneficial for TNA.
Recently, TNA stars such as Frankie Kazarian, Jordynne Grace, and Joe Hendry have been featured in prominent spots on NXT, and this weekend's Slammiversary event will have the largest attendance for TNA in years. Moose expressed his satisfaction with the current relationship between TNA and WWE, stating that it is the best partnership the company has ever had. He went on to say that it is even better than the previous partnerships with AEW and AAA, as well as any other company.
Moose described previous partnerships as "selfish," which aligns with the sentiments expressed by fans at the time of the AEW arrangement. He also shared his happiness with the way stars like Joe Hendry are being handled, as seen in their recent appearances on NXT. Moose believes that the mutual respect and success of both companies is the key to a successful partnership in the world of professional wrestling.
In the past, Moose has been close to joining WWE, but ultimately decided to stay with TNA, which he admitted was a difficult decision. "Let's be honest, WWE is a place I've always wanted to work for," he said. However, TNA offered him an irresistible offer, and he also had personal goals that he wanted to achieve in the company. Moose also acknowledged the ongoing fan demand for him to be a part of the crossover, with names like Oba Femi, Trick Williams, and Drew McIntyre being thrown around as potential opponents.
The partnership between TNA and WWE gives Moose the opportunity to live out his WWE dream while remaining committed to TNA. He is ready to embrace any challenge that comes his way, stating, "Whoever comes through the door, whoever they think I can have a good match with, I'm gonna do like I've done with everything. I'm going to put my best foot forward and give them 100%."
Moose's upcoming title defense at Slammiversary against Josh Alexander, Steve Maclin, Nic Nemeth, Frankie Kazarian, and Joe Hendry is highly anticipated. Hendry has made several appearances on NXT in recent weeks, and more and more people are starting to take notice of the talent in TNA. Moose believes that TNA has a stacked roster and is confident that it will only continue to get better. He is excited about the upcoming Slammiversary event, which is expected to have the largest turnout in the last decade, and he is looking forward to what the future holds for TNA.
In conclusion, TNA Wrestling World Champion Moose is optimistic about the current partnership between TNA and WWE and believes that it is the best it has ever been. He is proud of the talent in TNA and is ready to give his all in any challenge that comes his way. Fans can catch TNA Wrestling: Slammiversary on Saturday, July 20 at 1am via TrillerTV.
